NCRI – In a rear move, even by Iranian regime's standards, female members of the State Security Forces (SSF) — mullahs' suppressive police – searched women shoppers' purchased items for what they called "immodest buys."
This was the sense outside a major department store on the busy Seven Tir Square (Rezaiiha) last Sunday.
SSF agents, besides checking young women for what they had on carefully examined hand bags and shopped items of every woman leaving the store.
What followed was even stranger; the police women would questioned the shopper with items deemed immoral outerwear about their reasons for buying such goods.
The new move was enforced last April with the so-called "boosting public security" by the SSF in particular aimed at what was described as "mal-veiling."
The length and severity of the crackdown has been unprecedented in the under the clerical rule in recent years. Vans of the moral police are still a common sight in Tehran’s main squares as officials monitor passing women.
Women deemed inappropriately dressed are usually hauled to a moral detention centre to sign a written statement not to repeat the offence and await family members to bring them more modest clothing.
